29W USB‑C Power Adapter

29W USB‑C Power Adapter

Overview

The Apple 29W USB‑C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office or on the go. While the power adapter is compatible with any USB-C–enabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with your MacBook with USB-C port for optimal charging performance. You can also pair it with iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X to take advantage of the fast-charging feature. USB‑C to Lightning Cable sold separately.

No cable!

If you buy this as a second power supply so you don't have to carry one from home to office, be warned that everything that you need is NOT in the box. Budget
If you buy this as a second power supply so you don't have to carry one from home to office, be warned that everything that you need is NOT in the box. Budget for an EXTRA £20-£25 for a cable to attach it to your Macbook. Why Apple tarnishes its deservedly good reputation for quality products by overcharging for these accessories I do not know.

The product itself works fine, albeit very expensive once you add the cable needed. My disgust is aimed at Apple for not including it with the iPad Pro 12.9. I purchased five iPad's for my business and soon found that the included method of charging was so slow as to present a significant problem. This unit is clearly the correct charger for this model iPad. So on top of the £5K I have just invested in the tablets, keyboards, pencils etc I had to find another £375 just to be able to charge them in a reasonable amount of time.
Appalling and very disappointing from the company that used to be the good guys.

The charger the iPad Pro never had..

You may have thought that buying a huge £800 iPad Pro was a good idea at first, until you realised that it takes all day to charge with that pathetic 12W charge
You may have thought that buying a huge £800 iPad Pro was a good idea at first, until you realised that it takes all day to charge with that pathetic 12W charger it ships with - and then apple releases this. My iPad used to deplete charge while I was using it and charging it at the same time, until I reluctantly bought this instead.
First of all, this charger is amazing, it's super fast. A full charge on the standard 12W charger took over 5 hours in total - a complete joke! But with this, it will now charge up in LITERALLY half that time. However, this charger doesn't deserve five stars because £39 is so much money, and of course the USB-C cable is sold separately for £35 (NOTE: You can't use your old USB leads with this, as this uses the newer USB-C input), which means that in total I paid £74 for a replacement charger which should have been included with the iPad Pro from day 1. Still, what do you expect? This kind of Apple behaviour is becoming far less uncommon. All of Apple's 1st party accessories are ridiculously overpriced now. Still, this is the best and only solution to fast charging your massive iPad Pro. In this case, there aren't any 3rd party accessories which do the job, so it's this or you just accept what you already have.

I purchased a brand new iPhone 8 in September 2017 and I purchased the 29 watt USB C power adapter a month later for fastest charging possible. I took it with me on vacation in January 2018 and it just stopped working. It would not charge my brand new iPhone 8. Thank goodness I had a reliable 12 watt power adapter with me or I would not have been able to take pictures on vacation. Don’t waste your money on the 29 watt USB C power adapter. I could not believe it just stopped working after 3 months.

This should have been included in the box along with the overpriced cable. It took 5 hours to charge the iPad Pro with the included charger, and you cannot just use another usb charger with more power because Apple made sure to make the device with special hardware in case you tried to save money by buying a 3rd party's reasonably priced wall adapter.
What else has apple done with their usb c macbooks and endless cables and connectors? Also, the company admits they deliberately slow down products using old hardware. Nothing but greed here folks.

For the first time using Power Adapter USB C the best fastest charging ever it only takes you like 30 minuets that’s what the Apple Crew said me. Even the Lightning Cable (1M) the best as well better then 5W USB power adapter. You don’t like 5W powerful adapter better of getting 29W power adapter charging time will only take 30 minuets.

Answer

Yes, it will work but the iPad Air 2 doesn't support the USB-C PD (Power Delivery) fast charge feature, so there will be no difference to using a 12W charger. The charging speed will be the same with either the 12W or the 29W charger. You will need a USB-C to Lightning cable in order to connect this 29W USB-C charger to your iPad.

Answer

Yes, with an appropriate USB-C to Lightning cable you can use the 29W USB-C to charge your iPad.
Yes, with an appropriate USB-C to Lightning cable you can use the 29W USB-C to charge your iPad.
If you have a 12.9-inch iPad Pro (any model) or an 10.5-inch iPad Pro, use of this 29W charger will allow faster charging.
If you have a 9.7-inch iPad Pro, the charging speed will be the same as with your 12W original charger.

I just tried this. Using an Apple USB-C/lightning cable with an Apple iPhone lightning dock, it did not work. Removed the dock and just used the cable, and I get fast-charging. With the dock, the iPhone didn't even recognize it was connected. Too bad...we now have to buy a new dock as well!!!

iPhone 7 doesn't support fast charging. But using this power brick with an apple C to lightning cable will charge your phone faster than the small 5w power adapter that came with your phone.

The 29W USB-C charger will fast charge iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X. It will also fast charge the iPad Pro 12.9. I charge my iPhone 8 Plus and iPad Pro 12.9 with this adapter. Super fast charging speeds, no problems. You must also purchase a genuine Apple brand USB-C to lightning cable. These can be purchased in 1M and 2M lengths. I have the 2M and it works great.
